Wells and Barbian's cigar factory. This annual nuisance has caused not a little damage to the property owners who have put up with it the past sever­ al years, and something must be done. The street is now almost impassable, even with horse and buggy. Why do not our authorities look into this mat­ ter? Besides the damage done, it is also an eye-eore to any enterprising city or town. ' * The McHenry second team meets the Richmond second team at the city hall tomorrow (Friday) evening at basket ball. This game is the final one of a series, and each team will strive to the utmost to win. Come out and cheer the boys to victory. The floor space will be taken up between halves by teams com posed of the regulars and "irregulars" who will endeavor to hold the attention of the audience while the Seconds are resting. All for 15 cents. Game called at 8:15 sharp. Everybody come. You will laugh. You will yell. You will scream when you see "The Beggar Prince." At least, so we are informed by the advance agent: Anyone familiar with the average advance man will ap­ preciate the fact that he is always truth" ful. At least he is in this respect, judg ing from all accounts. The press and public have been unanimous in praising ' 'The Beggar Prince," a comic opera in three acts from the pen of Mr. Wm. Lytell, author of "Gayest Manhattan" and other important productions. The play is elaborately costumed and treats of life as it was in Italy in the 16th Century. Scenery and costumes are historically correct. Those desiring good seats should secure them early at the Central opera house, box office. The McHenry Light, Heat and Power company is now in full operation. The lights thus far have been satisfactoy?. The company is doing everything in its power to give the best of satisfaction to the patrons, and we feel safe in saying that the city board at its next meeting will not hesitate in accepting the light. The construction is said by those who are able to know to be first class in every respect and they propose to keep up with the times, always. The ma­ chinery used in running the plant is of the latest type, nothing bat the best of everything being allowed by the com­ pany, There are still a few difficulties about the race, but these will soon be o^rcoineand the best of service will prevail. As it fs, we have no kick coin- "Revenge is sweet" and we all love to laugh when a tneam man gets the of his own scheme. That is the why the Beggar Prince is a comic character in the play of the same name and the opera that has made a million laugh. "The Beggar Prince" is what is known as a "good showr" in common parlance. It sparkles with wit and humor. Its comedy element is pure, wholesome fun and free from vul­ garity. Each member of the cast has selected with particular care, all being of recognized ability. Etta Merris, the comedienne, is young, pretty and vivacious.

Miss Sophia Schumacher ot £lflnl a Former McHenry tiirl, AImo Called-- Miss Mooney Answers Summons. Mr. Andrew Kennedy, father of Mrs. H. C. Mead, died at the home ot H. C." Mead last Sunday, February 36, 1005, after an earthly career covering a peri­ od oi eighty-eight years* seven months and thirteen days. Mr, Kennedy ap­ peared to be in usual good health at the time of his death, never corn plaining of any feeling of illness.: Of course, his extreme age made him quite feeble: Owing to this fact and the tact that be has been blind for over a year, he has been, an invalid and has required con­ tent attention, but as for actual suffer­ ing, he experienced no pain whatever. The deceased was boru^in Wyoming county, New York, July 13, 1»16. came to this state seventeen years later, in 1833, settling in the town of Rich­ mond, McHeury county, Illinois, where he resided most ot ills life. On Novem­ ber 24, 1841, he was united in marriage to Miss Laura Warner. To the union were born niiie children, lour sous and five daughters, three of whom are dead. The living children are: Mrs. H. C. Mead of this city; Mrs. Hattie Black- man, Elgin; Mrs. Frank Parker, Spen­ cer, Iowa; Mrs. A. L. Moger, Harvard, Neb.; Elbert, of Trevor, Wis.; Dorr A., Woodstock, Illinois. Mr. Kennedy, as can be seen by the above dates, was one of McHenry coun­ ty's early settlers. Being possessed of the vim and eagerness that character­ ized all our early ancestors, he did his part of the hard work in bringing this county, as well as state, to its present high standard, always using his influ­ ence where the opportunity presented itself, in bettering these worldly strug­ gles. He was always a kind, loving husband and father, always ready to assist those who were iu need of assist­ ance, and in this way made friends by the score. He, in company with his wife,'who survives him, came to make their home with their daughter, Mrs. H- C. Mead, about a year ago and have since made McHenry their home. The funeral took place from the resi­ dence* Wednesday morning and was at­ tended by many sorrowing relatives and friends who had come to extend their last tribute to one they had re spected and loved. After the services Ht the residence the remains were taken to Richmond, where they were in- teired in the family lot, beside those of his mother, who passed away in 1848, The services were conducted by Rev. A. Roberts of the Uniyersalist chnrch and were very impressive. Those who attended the funeral from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Dorr A. Kennedy of Woodstock; Mrs. Hattie Blackman, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Black- man, Mr. and .Mrs. Adalaska Warner, Geo. W. Owen, ail of Elgin; Mrs. Hat­ tie Dalton, Hampshire, 111.; Elbert Ken­ nedy of Trevor, Wis. MISS SOPHIA SCHUMACHER Miss . Sophia Schumacher, a former McHenry girl, and who will be remem­ bered by a great maiiy of our people, died at St. Joseph's hospital, Elgin, 111., at 12:30 o'clock, Sunday, where she had been for the past ten days previous to her death. She had been in poor health for the past several months, having nev-- er fully recovered from an attack of typhoid fever contracted last August. Deceased was born in Chicago October 16, 1875. She has for the past several years been employed in the train room at the Elgin watch factory. She leaves, besides her mother, two sisters, Ethel and Mrs Gertrude Thies, and one broth­ er, John, all of Elgin. The funeral services were held at St. Joseph's Catholic church, Elgin, Tues­ day morning at 10:30 o'clock, a number of McHeury people being in attendance. The remains were taken to Chicago, where they were laid to rest in St. Bon- face cemetery. * MISS KATE MOONEY. The death of Miss Kate Mooney oc­ curred at the Howard House at Fox Lake, 111., on Sunday, February 26. Miss Mooney was born in Ireland and was seventy years old at the time of her death. The deceased has been a familiar figure at the popular resort for j,he past filteen years--in fact, she was considered as one of the family by Mr. and Mrs. Howard. Miss Mooney will be sadly missed by her associates, Wr many friends about the lakes and by those who have made the Howard House their stopping place for the past several years, as the deceased possessed a dispo­ sition that makes fronds at first sight. She was a deserving and worthy wom­ an, always willing to lend her services to those wishing them. The funeral services were held from the Catholic church at Fox Lake and interment took place in the cemetery adjoining. Basket Social. A basket social willi be held at the home of Clifford Sherman on Friday evenfng, March 3. averyone is cordial­ ly invited to attend, i^d ladies are re­ quested to bring lunci^NEor twq.

McHenry Gets Three New Free Delivery ' Mall Route*. Some time in the near future three new rural routes will be started, two from the east side post office and one from the west side, making four' routes with the one already established. This was brought about through the efforts of Congressman Snapp, who has secured a county rural route in every county in the congressional district. The farmers around Mchenry will no doubt feel quite jubilant over the good news, as for them this service is a great booh, as their mail is delivered daily at their very door, and they get their mail nearly as early as their city neighbors. There are to be thirty-nine routes dis-^ tributed over McHenry county. Har­ vard will have six; Woodstock, seven. Marengo, six; Nunda, three; Huntley, three; Hebron, two; Richmond, three; McHenry, three; West McHenry. one; Alden, one; Cary, one; Algonquin, one; Union, two. It is not definitely known as to when the routes will be put in. but we predict that it will lie before long. The work of laying out the routes has been left to Morgan Griswold, au inspector, who has been at Woodstock during the past t%vo months, planning on the laying out of the routes to please alL And he is to be congratulated upon the good work he has thus far done. "I SEE IT ALL NOW." Marshal Jack Walth the Victim of <fo)te by Nunda Marshall. „ Nunda Herald: The boys are giving genial Jack Walsh, city marshall of McHenry, the laugh. Marshal Hender­ son of Nunda played it in good shape on Walsh last week. Wednesday noon two well-known and highly respected citizens of Nunda took the train for McHenry. They were Ed Dehn and Lou Peterson. Marshal Henderson, knowing their destination, sent the following message to Marshal Walsh; • "Watch for two suspicions characters on noon train. Get plenty of help and be ready for a struggle with them." When the train pulled into McHenry there on the platform stood Marshal Walsh, with four big, husky deputies, all searching the passengers keenly for the first glimpse of the desparadoes sup­ posed to be on board. As Dehn and Pet­ erson stepped deliberately from the car the'lightof comprehension dawned in Walsh's eyes and be threw up his hands and said: "I see it all now. Tell that man Henderson I'll get even if I have to live forever to do it." And then he bought. • i__ EXCHANGE GLEAN IN G8. A WEEK OF MERRIMENT. M'HENRY THE SCENE OF SOCIAL EVENTS. MANY Happenings In McHenry and Adjacent Counties. . The new race track at Libertyville has been admitted into the Great West­ ern trotting circuit, the dates assigned to the track being September 19 to 22. It is not widely known that the wife of Israel Zangwill writes fiction which gave her an independent name in her native England. In Lippincott's Maga­ zine for March she has a delightful lit­ tle story about an American boy at a French watering-place which, under her maiden-name, E. Ayrtoni she calls U. S. A." Harvard Herald: John Johnson, a resident of Dunham, and an inmate of the county jail at Woodstock, ended his life last Thursday afternoon by hanging himself with a scarf, which he tied around bis neck and then tied the end of the scarf to one of the iron bars in the rridor of the jail. Being alone he was able to (accomplish his purpose, that of self destruction, and when found a few hours later he was dead. Where he fastened the scarf to the jail bar was not more than five feet from the floor and he hung himself by the weight of his body, his knees not being more than two feet from the floor. About six weeks ago he was arrested on complaint of members of his family'and the crime with which he was charged was suffi­ cient to place him under bonds to await the action of the grand jury and pend­ ing the convening of this body he was committed to jail in default of bail bonds.' Bat before the jury could in­ vestigate he ended his life and thereby made their work unnecessary. Notice of Central Opera Hons*. The management wishes to announce that in securing "The Beggar Prince" for Thursday evening, March 9, 1905, McHenry and vicinity now have the opportunity of witnessing something in shows that heretofore have neglected our city. This company of sixteen peo­ ple comes highly 'recommended, and only for .the Central opera house man­ agement's ability to stage shows such as this company present, McHeury would be unable to enjoy shows of this high character. We wish to also call yoar attentj£>n to the new mecnanical and lighting effects, marvels of stage craft, to be seen for the first time in our city. The entire house is now under electric control. No pains nor expense has been spared in the lighting plant. One hun­ dred incandescent lights are now in­ stalled, enabling the opera house to pre­ sent to the public all the scenic effects of the larger theaters.

(u a Close aud Interesting Oarne at Heb­ ron last Friday. appropriate frour. The Hebron basketball team made good agaiust the sturdy Highs of our city last Saturday evening at the former place, by defeating our boys by the close score' of 30 to 26. The Hebron boys have strengthened greatly since their last game with McHenry, whioh was played here the first of the season, our boys defeating them by a large margin, but it was evident at that time that they had the material for a fast team. McHenry went over last Friday night without Evanson, who has always taken a prominent part in all the games played this season, and this probably accounts in part for theloBS of the game, although Aylward. who was substitut­ ed, put up an excellent game, making more than his share of the points. The fact that our boys have been de­ prived of the use of the hall until quite recently had a great deal to do with the result of last Friday's game, as they had had no practice whatever -for over two weeks until the day of the game. We are informed, however, that the use of the hall has been re granted them, and regular practice will be resumed at once. The Highs will undoubtedly be in their old-time form when they meet Cary and Hebron for finals. Thus far this Beason the Highs have split about even, taking six out of the eleven games played. Not so bad! The Next Attraction. It goes without saying that the thea­ ter-going public become tired of the continuous grind of cheap farce comedy and melodrama and it is a well known fact that comic opera has been seriously neglected outside the larger cities for the past few years and even there it has waned more into farce. Theatre goers are continually looking for something new and next Thursday, March 9, they will not be disappointed when "The Beggar Prince" wjll be presented here by an all star cast, a handsome chorus and especially fine costumes. Prices, 50c, 35c, 25c, and 15c. Would advise to you secure seats early. Addltlpnal Personal. - Mike Thelen was out from Chicago Wednesday. Peter Leickem was a Chicago passen­ ger Tuesday evening. N.
